Subject: Fascinating reading

This is a fascinating set of two documents that would have been given to SNES developers in the early 1990s when under NDA.

A must read for anyone interested in retro game development, or indeed the history of the SNES and how games were developed for it.

I have no idea who leaked this, but whoever did, thanks! Hopefully Nintendo would appreciate the historical value of the documents, even if they were never meant to be released publicly.

Subject: What a find!

I read the western design center book and I really needed this, I didn't even know these books exist!

Subject: Did a game developer posted this manuel, or it was officially released?

How did someone posted this?
